Charity Delyle has lived in the shadow of her Prodigy cousinand his powerful Guard since the day she was born. And she doesn’t mind—really.Except that being in Hunter’s shadow means that he can’t see her. And she’dlike that to change.

Hunter has one purpose in life: Protect the Prodigy, or dietrying. That means a social life, school, and even Charity come last until thewar is over. For the most part, he’s okay with that—he can lose everything if he has to…except his seer.

Starting at a new school shouldbe much safer than living in a war-ravaged Carules headquarters. But this newschool is different than the others. Friendships are forged and destinies are questioned,and Hunter’s decision could cost them all everything they’ve been hoping for.
